Coffee does not dehydrate the body

German
scientists have discovered that coffee does not dehydrate the body. Regular
consumption of up to four cups daily did not show any signs of dehydration.

Not only coffee,
but also other caffeinated beverages, do not dehydrate the body at all. The
nutritionist Judith Bünker states: "The advice, to drink the same amount of
water, to every cup of coffee, in order to compensate fluid depletion, is
scientifically not sustainable." Furthermore, the renowned German researcher
states that coffee can be looked upon as beverage, like water, and not as
diuretic item.

The
caffeine, contained in coffee, does not have any negative impact on the human
body. However, dosage counts. Scientists agreed, according to the release, that
regular consumption of caffeinated beverages is not harmful, if the total daily
amount does not exceed 300 mg caffeine.
